Have you had your roof checked lately? What is the flashing like? If you haven’t had an expert take a look at your roof, it might be high time to do so, especially considering the damage that bad flashing could cause.

The flashing present on your roof is there to protect your home from leaks. It is placed between roofing shingles, at corners or places where different areas of your roof meet at an angle. This is usually where water can most easily penetrate in the gap between roofing fixtures, so flashing is used as a special material to fill those gaps and prevent water from leaking through to your attic and ceilings.
